jan 1, 1639 - Schütz's Return to Germany

Description:

Back to Germany at War
1. After a second trip to Italy, Schütz returned to war-torn Germany.
2. With many of his musicians drafted in the army and budgets thinned, he turned to a
leaner style, seen in his Kleine geistliche Concerte.
3. With the peace treaty signed in 1648, Schütz’s patron became one of the most
powerful Protestant princes in Germany, and as a consequence Schütz’s fortunes improved.
